Last Day of NaBloPoMo - Day 30
Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo, it was fun but I’ve definitely run out of blogging steam. We’re off to Dublin tomorrow for a week, it should be good fun, littlepixie will be visiting her cousins and meeting a brand new cousin, it’ll be my first time to [...]

NaBloPoMo - Day 29
If you feel like updating your copy of Eat, Drink & Be Vegan, Dreena has posted a few edits to the first edition, nothing major, just a few typos.
While you’ve got the typo-fixing bug, why not fix up some more of your vegan cookbooks too.

NaBloPoMo - Day 28
Look what arrived in the post today… My new Deluxe MaM Babywearing Cover.
I’d been trying to get the balance of clothing right for littlepixie, balancing the hot bus, the cold outdoors & the overheated shops, it was getting difficult. One of the Magicmums suggested this cover, I must say it’s gorgeous, and [...]

NaBloPoMo - Day 27
The best way to save your sanity if you have to go to town during the run up to Christmas is to abandon the buggy, pop your little monster in a sling/ mei-tai/ wrap/ random babywearing device and hop on the bus.
You don’t need to keep saying “excuse me, excuse me” as [...]

NaBloPoMo - Day 26
Nothing to report today. Only a few more days to go to our holidays in Dublin
NaBloPoMo - Day 25
Up! Up!
Littlepixie’s first real used-in-the-correct-context word is “Up”. Arms go up, then she says “up, up” until she’s picked up. She has a baby doll her grandmother gave her with the closey-openy eyes, and if the doll is lying down with its eyes closed, littlepixie shouts “Up” and picks her up to [...]

NaBloPoMo - Day 24
Amy from Crunchy Domestic Goddess was wondering how comfy our new Toddler Taitasi is. The answer is…. very, very comfy!
I wore it for 3 continuous hours out walking around today, littlepixie fell asleep for 1.5 hours in it. She was so cute and snuggly, as warm as toast.
It’s very supportive for her [...]

NaBloPoMo - Day 23
Oops it’s today and oops I went shopping. In my defense, I thought it was on Saturday, isn’t it usually a Saturday? Naughty me
Update… I’ve just checked, it’s the 23rd in America but tomorrow everywhere else, so I still have time to buy nothing, yay! Now what do I not [...]

NaBloPoMo - Day 22
On the recommendation of another magicmum I ventured over to Delia Smith’s website to veganise her version of Dhal curry.
Substitutions-wise, I used a tin of crushed tomatoes in place of the fresh ones and obviously the butter was out, so I used olive oil instead.
Served with pappadums, it was really delicious [...]

NaBloPoMo - Day 21
We’ve moved past the leopard association and littlepixie now officially knows and correctly uses her first sign, milkies.
It’s very cute, she’ll pull at my skirt and sign when she’s thirsty. Last night, we gave her some medicine because her teeth were at her, as soon as she’d finished the medicine, she [...]
